Congrats! That sounds great. Carbs are not bad, I just substitute whites with whole grain wheat type stuff, which I do believe may have less net carbs, maybe? Either way, so simple. Keep it up.

I gotta back read and catch up on this discussion.
A little bit of news to report. I bought some new cargo shorts first of April without trying them on in the store. Got home and they were about 2" short of buttoning and zipping. I got pissed off and threw them in the closet. Got up Saturday morning and saw them, pulled them on and viola! Fit is great! Also, pulled in another notch on my work belt.
My stomach capacity is smaller now for sure. Went to Johnny Huston's Saturday and got their smallest burger (still big). Ate it and one serving of fries. Never had anything else the rest of the day and not till breakfast on Sunday. I was miserably stuffed after I ate. That's a good thing. Went out to eat last night, still stuffed and only ate half my plate.
It's working, the psychological end of it anyway. It's getting easier for me to stay away from bad stuff and say no.

Sean, you'll find your body changes the kind of stuff it can even process.
One of my favorite foods is hooters wings, and like I said in my 4 steps, I don't deny myself anything if I really want it, but I don't eat it just to eat. So long story short, a few weeks ago, I really wanted some wings, I went and got them, and whereas I usually have about 20, I had 5, couldn't eat anymore and felt nauseous and sick for a day and a half. I don't crave wings anymore. Lol.

Yeah D, hamburgers did that to me. Fried foods aren't working well now either and that's OK. Like we mentioned before, chocolate and sugar makes me funky.
I'm trying to learn to drink green tea but that stuff makes me feel weird. I wonder if I'll adapt or never be able to drink it?

I do like iced green tea, but haven't had it in years. I may revisit, maybe try making with with agave nectar or honey.
I do drink a fair amount of orange juice, the vitamin C is supposed to help my body absorb the iron in the spinach and other iron rich greens.

I drink lots of orange juice and grapefruit juice.
I bought some natural mango flavoring and have been mixing that with unsweetened tea. Tastes delicious. The green tea experiment is for the supposed health benefits.

Dan those Jimmy Dan Turkey Sausage Patties look good, think I'll pick some up today and give them a try!
My effort for the day. Not anywhere in the same universe as Ian's runs, but not bad considering I haven't run with anything close to consistency in at least 5 years.
It's so much easier for me to run when it's hot than cold. My lungs feel like they're filled with needles when I do any hard exercise when it's cold.
That only comes into play for me when we get down in the 20's, which is rare around here... to me perfect running weather is in the mid 40's. Not too cold to wear shorts, Don't quite need gloves, just right!
Currently, I feel that way anytime it's below about 55. I'm sure that will get better with more exercise.
You need a new avatar, sir. You look like a completely different person now.

Wow just saw Dante's update, great job man, really incredible progress!
I'm still doing my thing. I've doubled my daily pushups to 2 sets of 50 each morning, added a pullup bar which I can only do about 15 of right now, and put in 80.66 miles last month. I keep saying I'm going to run 100 miles each month, but end up taking a couple of days off / shorter runs sometimes. Maybe this month...
